It was a real challenge to film because both riders had to be synchronised for all of the different camera angles, especially in the section where they choose a different line at 2″15.

It is undeniable how much I enjoyed filming, it made the editing more difficult, but I think that we’ve done a pretty good job! 😉

Vincent Pernin words:

“La 8″ is one of the trails of Les Arcs Bike Park, where I live now. This trail is one of the many options you have to get down to Bourg Saint Maurice. Not the easiest, but for sure not the hardest. It is just a very flowy trail, with fun features mixed with some aggressive DH turns, technical sections with roots & rocks.
I love to ride this trail with my buddy, Quentin Chanudet who is from the area. Quentin is a good fellow to ride with, and also a good DH WC rider. We love to ride close on this trail and overtake each other, every time we get the chance: pretty much like in this video.

This is a video we filmed with Jérôme Clementz (Enduro World Champion in 2013), about 2 years ago in Canada BC, on Full Nelson Trail around Squamish.
Unfortunately, the project has never been finished for different reasons.
As you probably already know, Jérôme had a bad crash in may and injured himself. He dislocated his shoulder and ripped all the ligaments. He had surgery and needs 3 months recovery before to be back on his bike.

He contacted me about 1 week ago to get back on that project and publish this video that really shows his actual feeling, what he’s really missing…

His words:

A lot of people ask me if I was gutted not being able to race all summer. Actually a little bit, but nothing compared to what I’m really missing: Simply riding…
We dug in our archives and found this video, shot by Christophe Hassel, in 2012 during a Trip in BC.
We never published it for different reasons but watching it now, it really explains what I want to do again and the hole left in my life since my injury.
Just ride, nothing big, nothing crazy, no stress, just to feel your tyre drifting, getting some air, feeling some speed and getting the flow!!
F**k I Can’t wait to be back!! 😉

Last Monday, we decided with a friend of mine to go for a night walk around the Lac de la Sassière to get some night shots as the sky was really clear.
We drove from Val d’Isère to the middle lake in between the Lac du Chevril and the Lac de la Sassière, then walked for about half hour, 45 minutes to get to the dam.
We stayed at least 3 hours shooting the sky and these are the shots I got from that night.

Few shots from yesterday morning. We went for an early hike with Boris and Guibolle to reach the top of La Pointe de la Galise (3343m). I didn’t want to bring my camera with me first as I wanted my backpack to be light, but I’m glad I did change my mind because the view at the top was just outstanding!
I used a Canon 17-40 Lens & a Canon 8-15 fisheye Lens. I wish I had a full frame camera for those shots to get a full 180° view circle tho!

Same as last year for the SuperPipe Finals at the Winter X-Games Europe Tignes. We decided to ski back to Val d’Isère, and hiked up using the lights coming from the Event.
We started right after the Men’s Final and used the lights coming from the Women’s Final.
It was 6 of us this year, 3 ski touring and 3 snowshoeing.
The weather wasn’t promising to take photos at the start but it cleared up on our way up.
Most of the slopes were freshly groomed and we had enough light coming from the moon with was very nice to ski down to Val d’Isère!

Torin Yater-Wallace won his second consecutive X-Games Tignes gold medal!

I went for a 2 days hike a few days ago in Garibaldi Provincial Park, and brought my recently purchased Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM Fisheye Lens with me. This lens provides 180° circular fisheye images on full-frame EOS models. In other words, a full 360 degree field of vision in the middle of the frame!I wanted to share with you a few shots I took with this absolutely amazing lens!
This lens is razor sharp even wide open! I couldn’t get the full circular shot as I am using a Canon 1D Mark IV APS-H sized sensor (1.3x crop factor).

I didn’t use the 8-15 lens for the following shots, I just wanted to share those photos with you as Garibaldi Provincial Park is one of the most beautiful hike I have done in the area!
